So, I decided I want to change up my sealant and wax. Currently, I using Menz Powerlock topped with P21S Pure Carnuba. I did a full paint correction 3 months back and the car sleeps indoors, so I wanted to remove the old sealant chemically and not use anything mechanical. I don't know if anyone else every does this when they want to change their wax if there paint is pretty clean and defect free; or if they just wash and apply the new wax. Anyway, I've often wondered what would work besides using paint cleaners or finishing polishes. I know a lot of people use Dawn, but I wanted to go with products actually made for automobiles. I considered APC, but decided against it, as it's not really made for this task. What I ended up doing was using CG Citrus Wash and Gloss at their recommended "wax removing" dilution, 1 ounce to a gallon. Then as a back up, I used Griots Paint Prep on each panel. I used a BMW brand wool wash mit to wash the car with the CG wash:

... And, it worked. This combo killed all beading. And, somehow, the car remained pretty glossy with no LSP

I just wanted to post this if anyone was wondering what's a good way to remove your LSP if your paint currently clean and swirl free. Thanks for looking.
